[/B][/QUOTE] As a science professional (structural engineer) I have certain language to use. Example: I would never say "two and two is four;" I would say "two plus two equals four." Sports officials are professionals and should use the correct language of the sport one officiates. I find it offensive that a basketball official describing a play using NFHS or NCAA rules to describe a common foul by a player of the team which is in control of the ball an offensive foul. [/B][/QUOTE] I USED THE TERM: "CYLINDER OF VERTICALITY." REPETE AFTER ME: CYLINDER OF VERTICALITY CYLINDER OF VERTICALITY CYLINDER OF VERTICALITY CYLINDER OF VERTICALITY CYLINDER OF VERTICALITY [/B][/QUOTE]Tsk, tsk, tsk....... Tsk! Mark, please show me the definition of "cylinder of verticality" in rule 4 of the NFHS and NCAA rule codes, and Rule 6 of the FIBA rules code. If you can show me that definition in any of the three rules codes, I will donate my next game fee and my eldest male child to charity. As a science professional (train engineer), I have certain language to use. Example: I would never say "two plus two is four"; I would say "two plus two are five". Sports officials are professionals and should use the correct language of the sports one officiates. I find it offensive that a basketball official describing a play using NFHS and NCAA rules to describe the principles of "verticality" and a player's "vertical plane" would use a term that is NOT in the rules books- "cylinder of verticality". Btw, Mark, some other good phrases that I have heard are: 1) Physician, heal thyself. 2) Pot....kettle...black.. 3) Hypocrite Think maybe you just might owe Juulie an apology on this one?
